I'm assuming you went through the setup procedures (setting date, time, etc). If you tried to shoot any pics with no card in the camera, you now have pics on the internal memory. You need to get rid of those by going into the menu and finding "format". Then, insert your new card (making sure the slide switch on the side of the card is in the unlocked position) and do the "format" thing again to optimize the new card for the camera.

I won a Canon PowerPoint S3 IS at an eBay auction; it was in the working camera listings. It turned out that in the finer detail, the owner said that everything worked except for the "Memory Card Error" found in the display window. I posted this a few days ago. I now have the camera, and I've tried two different memory cards (one came out of another Canon PowerPoint, and it does work) and neither works. Still have the same message;"Memory Card Error." This item was incorrectly listed as working.

Start a dispute with ebay on the item. if you sign into your account the link should be there.... it must be within 30 days of the auction. do not let the seller delay you in filing your claim. also do not let the buyer suggest he will refund you ...

I have a canon powershot sx110is and when i turn it on it will not take any pictures but instead gives the message "memory card error." When I put it to the display mode it says the same message plus "memory card locked." I checked the Sd card and it isn't manually locked. I don't know what to do and I don't think I did anything to change the settings. Help!?

First see if the camera will work without the memory card installed. Then format the internal memory using the camera's setting as described in the manual.Then turn OFF the camera and insert the sd card. Turn on and reformat the card too. ...

I have a Canon A400 that is displaying the common 'memory card error' message. I've been through most of the tricks that I've found on the Internet but still no success. Tried multiple memory cards, compressed air and formatting the card. For some reason when I try to format any card it shuts off the camera completely when I select that option from the menu. Any ideas out there?

There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Other causes include problems with ...

You could try formatting your memory card. You will lose all pictures saved on the card when you do it though. So make sure everything's saved elsewhere first. (You could burn them to a cd or a USB flashdrive) The option to format your card sh ...

When I install a memory card in my camera I get the message read only memory card, remove write protection to capture or write to card. The switch on the memory card is in the correct position, this is a card that I have been using with no problems until now. I also installed a brand new memory card and got the same message. I think there's a problem internally with the camera.

Camera message is: memory card requires formatting : I chose the option to format and camera will start formatting then stops and this message pops up:please format memory card or put in new memory card. I changed memory card and same thing happens,I have also tried moving switch on card, This problem started when I used card to transfer pictures to computer.

Try formatting through the computer rather than from within the camera itself. Or, just open the card on the computer, select all, then delete. There's probably a large file in there somewhere that the camera just doesn't have enough ooomphh to move ...
